Style Guru Sabir M. Peele Talks Ties

“I started wearing ties when I was about 8 years old,” says Sabir M. Peele, founder and creative director of the lifestyle blog Men’s Style Pro. “When I was 5 or 6, I learned how to tie my first four-in-hand knot, and that remains the primary knot I tie to this day.” Peele sports a necktie nearly every day, preferring solid or striped knit styles to balance the usual bold patterns of his shirts. “Knit ties add character to a well-tailored suit and mix well with a button-down and jeans,” he says. “Their versatility and texture make them stand out.”

For fall, he is particularly excited about BrunelloCucinelli’s debut collection of 100-percent silk neckties. His favorite is the navy tie with a graphic gray diamond pattern pictured above. While attending a party hosted by the designer earlier this year, Peele notes, “It was evident in the way he throws a party that elegance is a way of life. The new ties speak to this aesthetic: simple and elegant.” Saks Fifth Avenue, 2 Bala Plaza, BalaCynwyd, 610-667-1550
